Jesus College is often overlooked yet it includes some of Cambridge's finest medieval buildings. The college was founded in 1496 on the site of St Radegund's Nunnery and many of the original convent buildings remain. The 12th-century chapel, for example, is the oldest college building in the city; and the clatter of plates has echoed in the dining hall for over 800 years. Yet the college also includes sympathetically designed later buildings, modern sculpture and stained glass windows by William Morris, Ford Madox Brown and Augustus Pugin. Famous alumni include Prince Edward, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Alastair Cooke and Archbishop Cranmer. Wheelchair users should note that there are some steps. The college has unpredictable opening hours. Admission: free
